10 2) Add 50 µl NE Buffer to column. 3) Incubate at room temperature for 1 minute. 4) Centrifuge 1 minute at 11,000 x g. 5. Take 1 µl from each sample to determine the ds cdna yield by spectrophotometric UV measurement at 260 nm, 280 nm and 320 nm. Fragmentation, Labeling, and Hybridization 1. Fragmentation of ds cdna. 1. Fragment each of the samples as listed in Table 7 below: Table 7 Fragmentation of ds cdna Component Volume/Amount in 1 Rxn ds cdna Nuclease-free Water 10X APE 1 Reaction Buffer Uracil-DNA Glycosylase (2U/ μl) Human Apurinic/Apyrimidinic Endonuclease 1 (APE 1) 10 units/μl 7.5 μg up to 23.7 μl 4.8 μl 7.5 μl 12.0 μl Total Volume 48 µl 1) Flick-mix, and spin down the tubes. 2) Incubate the reactions at 37 C for 1 hour, at 93 C for 2 minutes, and at 4 C for at least 2 minutes. 3) Flick-mix, spin down the tubes, and remove 3 µl for fragmentation analysis using a Bioanalyzer.
